Anyone pay any attention to the GOY lines that a few of the casino's release early? It's about a 100 or so lines for games throughout the year, for example Golden nugget put out arkansas +16.5 against LSU.

Anyone play O/U on wins? Could really be a fun discussion to bounce some ideas of that off each toher for difference of opinions. Might save or make some guys a few bucks?

I think South Carolina easily beats the 5.5 total. They're in an extremely volatile division and returning a QB with a high ceiling who has options at WR. Would assume a Muschamp coached team will improve on their dismal defense from year 1 to 2. Schedule sets up nice for them too.

There's an espn podcast I enjoy, Behind the Bets, w/ Chad Millman and Bob Scucci (the director of sports gambling for the Boyd Gaming consortium). The daily number of bets on McGregor by the public has been astounding. One example of the public bettor: he said 30+ people a day walk up to the window and ask how much they'd win on Mayweather. Learning how small the payout would be, they ask the same of McGregor. Upon hearing that they then say, "what the heck, let's put $100 on McGregor." I know there is always a puncher's chance in any fight, but Joe Bettor has gotten carried away with this one. Right now the bets are many on McGregor, but relatively small dollars. Scucci says that at some point the sharps will come in and the line will move back towards its open, but as of now it's early for his usual pros to place their capital.

I had IU and over on Tulsa/Ok st last night. Should have won both but IU completely blew it in second half. have Navy and CSU tonight. CSU struggling so far and Navy up at half but long ways to go. Thought about Utah st and chickened out. Wish I took it.
